Study Notes

Actuarial Science Week 3 - Recap of Annuities

Annuities: Series of fixed payments made at regular intervals.
Types of Annuities: Ordinary annuity, Annuity due, Deferred annuity, Perpetuity.
Ordinary Annuity: Payments occur at the end of each period (e.g., month, quarter, year).
Annuity Due: Payments occur at the beginning of each period.
Deferred Annuity: Payoff starts at a future date. The first payment is made after a defined period (deferment period).
Perpetuity: An annuity that continues forever, with infinite payment periods.

Actuarial Science Week 3 - Calculations & Examples

Future Value (FV): The total value at a future date.
Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity: Formula (FV = A * [(1+r)^n - 1] / r); where A is periodic payment; r is periodic interest rate; n is number of periods
Future Value of an Annuity Due: Formula (FV_a = A * [((1+r)^n - 1) / r] * (1 + r) )
Current Value (CV): The present value of the annuity.
Current Value of an Ordinary Annuity: Formula (CV = A * [1 - (1 + r)^-n] / r); where A is periodic payment; r is periodic interest rate; n is number of periods.
Current Value of an Annuity Due: Formula (CV_a = A * [(1-(1+r)^-n)/r] * (1+r))
Table Method: Using present value tables or future value tables for calculations, avoiding direct formula application.
Compounding: Calculating interest on principal and accumulated interest.
Examples: Various scenarios illustrate annuity concept applications, including financial planning and investment.
Investment Problems: Determine future values for monthly or quarterly savings and the duration to reach a desired amount.

Actuarial Science Week 3 - Specialized Annuities

Deferred Annuity Future Value: Formula (FVdef = A * S_n¬r); where A is periodic payment; r is periodic interest rate; n is number of payment periods post-deferral (including deferral period). This is derived from future value of a regular annuity.
Deferred Annuity Current Value: Formula (CVdef = A * a_n¬r(1+r)^-d); where d is deferral period; A is periodic payment; r is periodic interest rate; n is number of periods, including the deferral period. Derived from the calculation for current value of ordinary annuity.
Perpetuity Formula: A = r * CV∞, where A is the annual payment, r is the interest rate, CV∞ is the present value of the perpetuity.
